I seem to be having some issues with my passengers side window. I reset the one touch and it stays up and goes down without a problem.

But it seems as though my passenger side window allows too much wind noise. There isnt actually any wind that goes in the car but the noise is bothering me..
Is there a quick simple fix for this? or do I have to take it to the dealership??
I am out of warranty and everything would be paid out of pocket...

thanks, and I also tried searching and didnt have any luck..

Step 1: Re-index your passenger window and test again.

Step 2: With both windows fully raised, eyeball each of them for comparison purposes to ensure the passenger window is properly seated and contacting it's sealing surface. If in doubt, place a sheet of paper on the top edge of the window, raise the glass and see how difficult it is to pull through at the front and rear of the glass. Again, you have a good window to compare your pull test with. That should help you determine if the wind noise is coming though a leaky seal in the window or not.

If you determine that the front or rear of the glass is not seating properly, there is an adjustment for either end in the shop manual that involves invasive surgery to explore the innards of your door to adjust the window glass alignment marks in their proper locations on the lift mechanism. If elective surgery sounds too painful or risky, your local dealer will be more than happy to diagnose and lighten your wallet.
